Brush



Patented Nov. 29, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE PHILIP MEIDNICK, or nnoo trn, n w Yonx Barren;

Application filed April 9,

This invention relates to new anduseful improvements in brushes, and may appropriately, 011 account of its unique construction and forceful effect, when applied, be termed a pressure shower-brush.

While a device of this kind may be used for various purposes, a natural application this invention consists of the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, and in whichsimilar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all views, and in which;

Figure 1 is a bottom view of my device.

Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view, taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1; while Figure 3 is a detail view in section.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, 10 indicates a wooden member, or block, which'in this present invention, or instance, is of an oval shape, with a substantially flat bottom surface, and with provision made at its top, in the form of a recess 11, to engage a handle. The said oval member has in its central area the usual arrangement of bristles 12.

In the said wooden member 10 is formed a circumferentially disposed water-chamber 13; the elongation of the said chamber being near the lower surface of the said brush formed with a set off, or projection, as indicated by the numeral 20, and with sidewise enlarged concave walls 14.

The said water-chamber 13 is covered with a plate 15, preferably of metal, and the said plate has been provided with a great number of small oval-shaped perforated areas 16.

On top of the plate 15 is in turn mounted a substantially round gasket 17; the latter has charge of the Water under 32. Serial 1a, 604,191.

been formed with apertures 18, tapered in an outwarddirection, and adapted to register and cooperate with the small oval shaped perforated areas 16, to facilitate the dispressure from the U water chamber 13.

The slightly conca ve outer portions 14 of the walls of the continuation of the water- .chamber will suffice to secure the rubber gasket 1 7 in place, once the said gasket has been snapped into position. I

At one end of'the wooden member 10 is inserted a metal tube 19 suitable for attachment thereto of a rubber hose, when water islet into the chamber onr is ob tha hange may be mad in theform, construction and arrangementof ofthe brush duringoperathe several parts, as shown, withinthe scope o he app nd d msfi i h ut d p r ing from the spirit of theinvention, and '1 do not therefore wishto limit myself to the construction and arrangement shown and described herein.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is:

1. In a device of the class described, a solid base-member formed with a substantially flat bottom surface, bristles arranged in the center of the said surface, and a circumferential groove formed upon the said base-member, a plate-memberhaving apertures therein and being countersunk in the said groove, a rubber gasket mounted upon the said plate, and holes formed in the said .85 gasket to register with the perforations of the cover-plate.

2. In a device of the class described, a solid base-member, of an oval shape and formed with a substantially flat bottom surface, bristles arranged in the center of the said surface, a circumferential groove made in the said base-member, a plate-member having apertures therein and being counter- .95 sunk in the said groove, a rubber gasket mounted upon the said plate, and holes formed in the said gasket and tape-ring outwardly, the said holes being adapted to register with the apertures in the said cover- .1

plate, and an inlet-tube for conveying water to the said groove.
